Sažetak
Project management is a discipline of outstanding importance, especially in cases when a certain task requires substantial human, technical and financial resources to be accomplished. When estimating project duration and its costs, as well as identifying its critical path activities, project managers can gain crucial support from computer simulation. The decision-making model presented in this paper is based on the assumption that activity durations can be defined as random variables that follow a triangular or beta PERT distribution. In order to estimate project duration as accurately as possible, the proposed computer-based model envisages a higher number of simulation sets. By using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post hoc comparisons we are able to determine simulation sets whose averages of project duration have no statistically significant differences. After their frequency distribution is formed, we can calculate the confidence interval for the mean project duration, which is one of the key pieces of information in project management.
